This parmesan crusted tofu is inspired by one of my favorite meals before going vegan: the parmesan crusted chicken with lemon chardonnay butter sauce from BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse. For my version, tofu is coated in a parmesan breadcrumb mixture and fried until golden, juicy, and perfectly crisp. It’s then topped with the most delicious and creamy lemon butter sauce! Serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite side of veggies, and you’ve got a restaurant-worthy meal right in the comfort of your own home!
